At the upper gate, above the columns on the right and left, are the figures of Mars and Minerva, and then, as art historian Fried Lübbecke describes it, "a truly baroque idea" - the Landgrave, surrounded by war emblems, gallops out of a niche on his horse in full armor, with two naked prisoners beneath him. It is a work by Zacharias Juncker the Younger.
